Studio of Indonesian & European Tattoo-Artists

My name is Martin, I have been drawing since I was a little kid, and eventually graduated art school with a background in illustration and graphic design. I moved from France to Berlin 17 years ago, and have been hanging around here in various parts of the local punk underground and alternative subcultures. I have been teaching myself most of what I know about tattooing, as a craft and art culture. I take my influences from studying American and Japanese traditional tattoo style, and dark neo-traditional. I love to add in some touches of my personal interest for western occultism, as well as for Southeast Asian traditional crafts and paintings.

My name is Bhoman and tattooing is my passion. I love being a part of people’s life story through my art. I have a background in painting theatre sets and stage design but have been putting ink to skin professionally since 2014. That same year I opened Kayon Tattoo Atelier and have never looked back since. I have years of experience in all styles of tattooing but specialise in traditional Polynesian / Maori motifs as well as traditional motifs from the country of my birthplace, Indonesia. I love working freehand as for me it’s the purest form of self-expression but I’m always up for trying new motifs and techniques.
